Territory Wildlife Park - Operated by the Parks and Wildlife Commission of the Northern Territory, this Park demonstrates the relationships that exist out in the wild, between the unique native plants and animals of the region. It offers an amazing and unparalleled insight into the diversity of tropical Australia and should definitely be your first stop during any visit to The Top End. Renowned for incredibly beautiful, even surreal looking landscapes the Northern Territory covers an area of some 1.346 million square kilometres. For any visitor to the Territory, that is a lot of "nature" Territory! Demand for high quality nature experiences from travelers is strong. Recognizing this demand more than ten years ago, the NT Government Parks and Wildlife Commission set about creating two major attractions, the Territory Wildlife Park near Darwin and the Alice Springs Desert Park, in Alice Springs. These two Parks now combine to offer an unparalleled introduction to the native flora and fauna of their respective regions - that is, tropical Australia and the arid zones of central Australia. The Territory Wildlife Park near Darwin opened in 1989 and has now hosted well over one million visitors from Australia and around the world. Positive word of mouth and repeated visitation continue to provide evidence of this Park's ongoing success. Here, a 6km easily walked path meanders through natural bush land and immerses visitors in a variety of typical Top End habitats. The nature trail for example, leads to a bird-hide that overlooks a natural billabong called Goose Lagoon. Wild animals come and go freely according to the season and while standing in the hide, you could be forgiven for thinking you were in the middle of Kakadu or Litchfield or any number of national parks in The Top End. Combining natural features with man-made exhibits like an aquarium, reptiles and nocturnal house, the nature experience is high quality and guaranteed. Visitors' wander through seasonally changing habitats between exhibits often experiencing chance encounters with animals roaming wild within the confines of the Park. Set in 400 hectares, a free shuttle also links all exhibits opening the Park up to all levels of fitness. Disabled access is a strong feature of both Parks. The Territory Wildlife Park is also heavily involved in the research and preservation of endangered wildlife species from its region. So why visit? You'll experience the magnificent bird and animal life, in spectacular scenery, which is convenient and safe location. All with the knowledge that you are also supporting Australia's natural wonders.
